- Brief Bio: Originally from NJ and FL, when I was younger I traveled alot into the New England states. That is where I got my love for beers. Now live in NC and The Craft Beer Industry is just starting to come here and I do not have to travel to VA to find a variety of brews any longer, "THANK GOD". Love all types of beer except Domestic Brews (Re: Bud, Coors, Miller. ect...). .

Poured a hazy yellow in color with a very small head that dissappeared in seconds and had very poor lacing. The aroma was of light bread-like malts, light herb hops with a very light earthy yeast scent. It tasted bitter and acidic in the beginning with a mild bitter finish that lasted only a short time. Mouthfeel was creamy in texture and light bodied. Overall a mild tasting brew but not bad at all. - Jan 26, 2010

Poured amber-brown in color with a large frothy head that lasted throughout and good lacing. The aroma was of resin hops and a leathery yeast with a hint of raisins. It tasted bitter of hops at first and finished about the same with the flavor lasting an average duration. Mouthfeel was medium to full bodied with a creamy-dry texture. Overall an excellent Trappist Ale. - Jan 5, 2010

[Best served in a Trappist glass, Tulip glass or Tumbler]
Poured brown in color with a small off-white head that was fully diminishing and had fair lacing. The aroma was of roasted malts and mild flowery hops with a light scent of sweet yeast. It tasted slightly bitter yet sweet in the beginning and finished moderatley sweet and malty with the flavor only lasting a short time. Mouthfeel was medium in body with a creamy-oily texture. Overall an outstanding strong ale. - Nov 27, 2009
